Northeastern University & Mills College
An Alameda County Superior Court judge has temporarily halted the planned merger of Mills College in Oakland with Northeastern University in Boston. In other weird news of the day, Mills College in Oakland is considering merging with Northeastern University in Boston.
From Wikipedia:
Mills College is a private women's liberal arts college in Oakland, California. Mills is an undergraduate women's college for women and gender non-binary students with graduate programs for students of all genders. Mills was founded as the Young Ladies Seminary in 1852 in Benicia, California; it was relocated to Oakland in 1871, and became the first women's college west of the Rockies. In 2014, Mills became the first single-sex college in the U.S. to adopt an admission policy explicitly welcoming transgender students.
"For the 2018–19 academic year, Mills student body included 1,255 students, with 766 undergraduate women and 489 graduate students of all genders."
